Reforms in Religious Madaris of Pakistan Fakhr-Ul-Islam  Reforms in Religious Madaris of Pakistan Fakhr-ul-Islam Abstract The present paper is devoted to reforms in the Religious Madaris in Pakistan The quest for these reforms has come from various quarters and has been prompted by different considerations. The West, particularly the United States, wishes to secularize and reform these Madaris so that their graduates are no longer inspired by a passion for Jihad nor are they inclined to militancy. The Pakistani Government, apart from its own desire, to modernize the system, is pursuing donor-driven agenda regarding the introduction of reforms in these institutions. Besides these extraneous elements, .there is also a desire for change, coming from Madaris themselves which is a welcome sign.1 Can we benefit from the experience of any other country and replicate their reforms programme in our Madaris? All these issues have been examined and analyzed in the paper in hand. Keywords: Madaris, Education, PMEBO, Pakistan Mainstreaming the Madaris during Musharraf Era The Government of General Pervez Musharraf (1999-2008) intended to devise a comprehensive plan to, what they claimed, improve conditions of religious Madaris. Speaking at a seminar organized by Institute of Policy Studies Islamabad on August 3, 2000, Dr, Mahmood Ahmad Ghazi, a member of Musharraf’s Security Council said: “The Government plans to integrate religious Madaris with mainstream education system, and introduce changes in their courses and teaching methodology. This is to be done with a view to enabling these institutions to play their due role of producing not only religious scholars but also leaders in all fields of learning and human endeavor” 2 Dr. Fakhr-ul-Islam, Associate Professor, Pakistan Study Centre, University of Peshawar, Pakistan. Email: [email protected] Reforms in Religious Madaris of Pakistan Fakhr-ul-Islam However majority of Ulama and administrators took exception to the intentions of Musharraf Government and feared that the Government was bent upon controlling the Madaris. The grand Mufti of Pakistan, member of the state-run Islamic Ideology Council and President of Darul Uloom Karachi, Mufti Rafi Usmani, termed the Madaris ordinance as part of a conspiracy to drag Pakistan to secularism. He said Government wanted to create a band of official ulama which would not be tolerated at any cost.3 The other ulama who opposed the move included Mulana Abdul Malik (President Rabitatul Madaris), Mufti Iqbal Shah Faizi (Muhtamim Faizul Uloom Sakhhar), Mulana Abdul Ghaffar Ropri (Muhtamim Jamiah Ahle Hadis Lahore), Sarfaraz Ahmad Naeemi (Muhtamim Jamiah Naeemiah Lahore), Mulana Muhammad Murad (Muhtamim darul Uloom Rohri), Mufti Munibur Rahman (President Tanzeemul Madaris and Chairman of the State-run Moon Sighting or Roet Hilal Committee) and Qari Hanif Jalundhri (Nazim Wifaqul Madaris)4 Nevertheless, in 2001, the Musharraf Government, in spite of the stiff resistance of the Ulama, promulgated the Pakistan Madrassa Education (Establishment and Affiliation of Model Deeni Madaris) Board Ordinance (PMEBO). With headquarter at Islamabad; a 20-member Board headed by an eminent educationist was created.5 All the five wafaqs; Federal Ministries of Education, Religious Affairs and Science and Technology; Provincial Education ministries, Higher Education Commission of Pakistan; International Islamic University Islamabad; Inter-board committee of all the secondary boards and Ulama and Technocrats were given representation in the apex body or board created under the PMEBO. 6 The preamble of the Pakistan Madrassa Education (Establishment and Affiliation of Model Deeni Madaris) Board Ordinance (PMEBO) specified the following two objectives: The Dialogue 199 Volume IV Number 2 Reforms in Religious Madaris of Pakistan Fakhr-ul-Islam i) To provide for securing the registration, regulation, standardization and uniformity of curricula and standard of education of deeni Madaris imparting specialized Islamic education in Pakistan with the general education system in order to enable recognition of equivalence of the degrees, certificates and asnad awarded by such institutions and to regulate their examination system and the matters connected therewith or ancillary thereto. ii) There is a need that deeni Madaris maintain their autonomous character and are better organized for promotion of full-fledged, comprehensive and specialized Islamic education along with subjects of general education system7 Going through various provisions of PMEBO, it boils down to the fact that its real aim was to enlighten the students of religious Madaris with contemporary knowledge and bring them at par with the general secular educational institutions. The Government planned to replicate the board created at Federal level, in all the four provinces. The Board was entrusted responsibility of setting up model Deeni Madaris. It will also prepare syllabi and organize examinations and teachers training programmes.8All madaris will get themselves registered with PMEB failing which they will be deprived of the right of receiving funding from federal and provincial Governments. The obvious objectives, implementation mechanism and other aspects of PMEBO sound good. However, the real challenge was how to make it acceptable for Madaris people. On the other hand, till the implementation of PMEBO in letter and spirit, the four provincial governments were allowed in 2006 to amend the Societies Registration Act 1860 so as to regulate the religious seminaries. For this purpose a new section 21 was added to the Societies Registration Act 1860.9 The new section provided for the following details about registration of Madaris. The Dialogue 200 Volume IV Number 2 Reforms in Religious Madaris of Pakistan Fakhr-ul-Islam i) With promulgation of the act, all Deeni Madaris were required to get themselves registered immediately ii) Every Deeni Madrassa was supposed to submit annual report of its educational activities to the Registration Authority iii) It became mandatory for every Deeni Madrassa to carry out audit of its accounts by an Auditor and submitting report to the concerned Government authority iv) It was also recommended that no Deeni Madrassa would teach or publish any literature which might promote militancy or stir up sectarian or religious hatred.10 The promulgation of PMEBO and Societies Registration Amendment Act made no significant difference, as, a great majority of Madaris refused to go for registration, thus posing a serious challenge to the Government .To meet that challenge, the Musharraf Government started parleys with the office bearers of Itihad Tanzeemat-e-Madaris Pakistan (ITMP)11 . It may be noted that in the whole process, there was no reference as to what type of curriculum was envisioned for Madrassa system. Besides, our prevalent secular education system hardly enjoys any enviable position so far as its general standard is concerned. Now if we were to turn the Madaris into an other set of secular system- punctuated with religious instructions- how it would provide us any relief. The whole arrangement may end up in demolishing the existing system of Religious Madaris and prove to be more retrogressive. In 2005 and 2006, the Government arranged study tours for ITMP leadership to UK and USA so that they could consult with academia and policy makers there. No report was published about the outcome of that tour. 12 Both the Musharraf Government and ITMP were about to sign an agreement but the operation at Lal Masjid13 Islamabad in 2007 caused a deadlock which continued till the fall of General Musharraf. The Dialogue 201 Volume IV Number 2 Reforms in Religious Madaris of Pakistan Fakhr-ul-Islam The PPP Government Initiatives The Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Government installed in 2008 continued with the Madaris reforms programme of its predecessor regime. However they were quite conscious and instead of imposing reforms package, they started a series of dialogues with the office bearers of ITMP. The meetings were held in the federal Interior Ministry in Islamabad. These meetings were attended by ITMP leadership and Interior Minister Rahman Malik. On 29th September 2009, after a meeting with ITMP leadership, Mr. Rahman Malik disclosed that the agreement, in that connection, was finalized between the Government and ITMP. He highlighted the following features of the draft agreement: i) The educational Boards of all the five schools of thoughts would be registered in order to give recognition to the degree of these Madaris ii) The Inter-Madaris Board, a superior body would be set up to attest degrees of Wifaqs and review their educational system iii) All the Madaris would register themselves with Inter-Madaris Board. Madaris. Those who fail to get themselves registered would not be allowed to function. 14 As mentioned earlier that under the provision of Pakistan Madrassa Education (Establishment and Affiliation of Model Deeni Madaris) Board Ordinance (PMEBO), the Government was supposed to establish apex body of different composition. Then that body or Board was to be replicated in all the provinces.15. The ITMP leadership was opposed to the proposed Board on the pretext that the official Board will encroach upon the autonomy of Madaris, therefore the PPP Government agreed to rename it as Inter-Madaris Board During the month of October 2009 another controversy triggered an exchange of blistering statements between ITMP and Government. In that month two official Turkish delegations visited Pakistan-one led by Minister of Science and Technology

  • Negotiating Islam
    Negotiating Islam Dialogues between Liberalism and Islamic Theologies in 21 st Century Britain Stephen H. Jones A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology Goldsmiths, University of London September 2010 Declaration In fulfilment of the requirements of the University of London for the presentation of a PhD thesis, I hereby declare that what follows is entirely my own work and has not been submitted for a degree at any other university. Stephen Jones, September 2010. 2 Abstract The recent intense focus upon Islam in the UK comes at a time when the religion is in a state of flux, with the traditions followed by older generations slowly giving way to new forms of religious expression. New interpretations are very gradually emerging at precisely the same time as suspicions are on the increase about Islam undermining national identity and respect for the liberal democratic division between public and private spheres. Against this tense backdrop, this thesis seeks to explore debates about religious interpretation and the relationship between Islam and liberalism that are ongoing among Britain’s Muslims. It draws upon data collected from a variety of new initiatives (focusing upon three in particular) that are involved in disseminating Islamic knowledge and discussing Islamic norms. Using this data, it examines the arguments of a wide variety of Islamic scholars, clerics and activists and highlights some of the ways in which Islam is being related to the British context. Of particular concern in the thesis are the implications these debates have for liberal traditions in the UK.
